I suggest loql you read Liber 777 for yourself and then tell me how rational Crowley was. Clearly none of you have a real clue who he was or what he wrote. He was a first-class crackpot. Downvote me all you want, but that just says more about how off-base LW has become.
I’ve read a couple of his things and I know how insane he can be. I freely admit that he was an utter raving loony. I just happen to think this particular essay offers a plausible explanation of religious experience. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
Have you read the essay? Do you disagree with it? Would you have objected to it if I’d published it under my own name?

“Downvote me all you want” is just always a faux pas. “This place has gone way downhill” is rarely worth saying anywhere, and is additionally silly in so new a community as LW. I agree with you about Crowley (who I learned about due to sharing a surname with him) but please don’t reach for these cliches.

I didn’t claim that Crowley was rational. This seems to be a trend in your commentary, along with a heavy reliance on ad hominem.
